this afternoon madden who had an nounced that he desired state's attorney wayman and representatives of the press present late last night decided to omit them strike cause a mystery just why president hughitt is desired in the conference can only be conjectured the depot power bouses are beiug erected by the george a fuller company and the train shed by the george w jackson company both concerns employ union men and midden states that there is no grievance against them although their em ployes are on strike as all the work for the depot is , being done by contract and under union conditions it is regarded as peculiar that any official of the north western should be invited to the confer ence w a merriman vice president of the george a fuller company when risked last night to give the results of the re quest on president hughitt of the north western to sit iv conference with madden said i was entirely willing to attend such a conference and madden asked me to ar range with mr hughitt to also be present i saw mr hughitt and he told me that he did not care to discuss with me the fuller company's troubles with its own employes but that it is well known that anybody who has business to transact with the northwestern can find him at his office we must have that conference said madden no matter where thc contractors want it held popham gets new evidence the object of having a conference to-day is said to be to tide the trouble over to night's meeting of the associated building trades it was thought too dangerous to go to the meeting without a report it was necessary to have something to report and thus prevent the asking of leadiug questions one of the visitors to the state's attor ney's office was the owner of a moving picture show he said that he had foun'l it necessary m order to keep his show running to pay tribute to certain labor officials and that scores of others had to do the same assistant state's attorney george m popham who is gathering tlie evidence i*efused to divulge the names of those who made complaint to hipa yester day but said that some of the statements were startling several communications from union workmen m the building trades were also received by the state's attorney these contained offers of assistance ir immunity is given this will be done it is said one letter was from a st joseph mich electrician who said he had lived m Chicago for many years and knew all about the methods used by the labor grafters he said he knew about the holdup of l schindler of schindler's the ater west huron street near milwaukee avenue mr schindler it is said paid 52tx because an employe changed some electric fixtures the Illinois manufacturers association lias instructed attorney william d haynie to draw up a bill to present to the legisla ure defining extortion similar to the new york law after sam parks was sent to sing slug the new york legislature ev icted a law and this is the oue the Illinois legislature will be asked to duplicate woe ih uk ise bonds says broker la salle street trader declares judge was failed plunger's partner m risks both lost and must pay frederick mclaughlin denies former chicagoan's opera tions were dishonest sidney c love is not a thief he did not steal the bonds and securities in trusted to him b.v judge william 11 moore he may have lost heavily through his speculations but if he used bonds belong ing to judge moore he did it with the knowledge and consent of the owner this statement was made yesterday by frederick mclaughlin treasurer of w f mclaughlin & co coffee importers and the close personal friend of sidhey c love in lhe years that i have known mr love i have never known him to do a dis honorable act continued mr melaughliu his integrity as a broker was never ques tioned while he was m Chicago and he maintained his high reputation for honesty after he went to xew york that he hypothecated securities belougiug to judge moore and used them as collateral for loaus is past belief mr mclaughlin would neither deny nor admit that he has heard from mr love since love's losses and his retirement from the stock exchange became public but he left the impression that love had written to him says moore knew of operations the trend of opinion among the brokers on la salle street is that love used the bonds and securities belougiug to judge moore either as his partner or agent and that the new york financier was aware to what uses they were being put that love acted m good faith with moore i have not the slightest doubt said a prominent broker on la salic street who is m a position to know the inside business relations existing between the two love handled securities belonging to moore io uiany of his speculations on the stock jiarket and iv the wheat pit but moore uiicw all about it and approved of his course if love had won n barrel of money through bis bearish attitude m the wlieat market the judge would have prof ited accordingly lt was a gamble as all speculation is and he lost not only that but i believe that love acted upon the advice of judge moore who thought that fatten could not hold his corner on the wheat market love speculated heavily lv stocks and was on the wrong side of the market euough of thc time to lose every cent he had about 750,000 moore lost_s*j,2jo,ooo perhaps but that represented only a part of his for tune believes moore directed deals what could be more natural thau that judge moore should give his protege love his own tip on the market and that love should act upon his advice it is hardly conceivable that a man of moore's known shrewdness would intrust 2,2504)00 worth of bonds to a broker and not have some knowledge of what he was doing with these securities he knew that love's own fortune wus less than 1,000 000 he must have heard something of his big deals and his subsequent losses love plunged too heavily to keep his operations a secret and the extent of his deals re quired same one else's mouey besides his own if moore was not a silent member of the firm of sidney c love & co he was at least interested m it he is therefore bound to accept the firm's losses without a word he took a gambler's chance with love and they both lost lcve is nots com plaining und moore has no more reason for making a noise about it than his agent or partner he has allowed thc impression to get out however that love used bonds that he did not own it is altogether unlikely that he would take a loss of more than 2,000,(kx without some steps looking to ward recovery or retribution unless love is guiltless of wrongdoing love agent for capitalists mr love is believed to have been the agent for handling the deals of a coterie of capitalists interested m the same stocks for some reason the capitalists who have been the power behind the throne m the love comptiny decided to get out accord ing to another broker in doing so they left the company with little business and forced love to close out his deals love is reported to have been m Chicago the latter part of last week this is de nied however by his most intimate friends at the home of his mother mrs mary love it was stated that mr love was not m the eity\and that he had not beeu here recently he has made no at tempt to secure funds m Chicago as far as could be learned it was reported yesterday from new york that the sudden ndlng of love's career as a broker has threatened to disrupt the friendly relations between the moores and the vanderbilts it was intimated that the vanderbilts lost heavily through love's company and that they asked moore to repay them mr moore it is reported has paid all of the love concern's debts to customers with the exception of reginald vabder bilt this fact iif connection with the other revelations of the day would go far to confirm the report that moore was really the head of the love concern and that sidney c love was only a figure head moore is alleged to have said that the vanderbllts were as well able to stand their losses as he was lt is hinted that hegiiiald vanderbllt was interested with judge moore iv the love company e h eversz and wife separate mysteriously

hughitt is desired in the conference can only be conjectured the depot power bouses are beiug erected by the george a fuller company and the train shed by the george w jackson company both concerns employ union men and midden states that there is no grievance against them although their em ployes are on strike as all the work for the depot is , being done by contract and under union conditions it is regarded as peculiar that any official of the north western should be invited to the confer ence w a merriman vice president of the george a fuller company when risked last night to give the results of the re quest on president hughitt of the north western to sit iv conference with madden said i was entirely willing to attend such a conference and madden asked me to ar range with mr hughitt to also be present i saw mr hughitt and he told me that he did not care to discuss with me the fuller company's troubles with its own employes but that it is well known that anybody who has business to transact with the northwestern can find him at his office we must have that conference said madden no matter where thc contractors want it held popham gets new evidence the object of having a conference to-day is said to be to tide the trouble over to night's meeting of the associated building trades it was thought too dangerous to go to the meeting without a report it was necessary to have something to report and thus prevent the asking of leadiug questions one of the visitors to the state's attor ney's office was the owner of a moving picture show he said that he had foun'l it necessary m order to keep his show running to pay tribute to certain labor officials and that scores of others had to do the same assistant state's attorney george m popham who is gathering tlie evidence i*efused to divulge the names of those who made complaint to hipa yester day but said that some of the statements were startling several communications from union workmen m the building trades were also received by the state's attorney these contained offers of assistance ir immunity is given this will be done it is said one letter was from a st joseph mich electrician who said he had lived m Chicago for many years and knew all about the methods used by the labor grafters he said he knew about the holdup of l schindler of schindler's the ater west huron street near milwaukee avenue mr schindler it is said paid 52tx because an employe changed some electric fixtures the Illinois manufacturers association lias instructed attorney william d haynie to draw up a bill to present

asked to duplicate woe ih uk ise bonds says broker la salle street trader declares judge was failed plunger's partner m risks both lost and must pay frederick mclaughlin denies former chicagoan's opera tions were dishonest sidney c love is not a thief he did not steal the bonds and securities in trusted to him b.v judge william 11 moore he may have lost heavily through his speculations but if he used bonds belong ing to judge moore he did it with the knowledge and consent of the owner this statement was made yesterday by frederick mclaughlin treasurer of w f mclaughlin & co coffee importers and the close personal friend of sidhey c love in lhe years that i have known mr love i have never known him to do a dis honorable act continued mr melaughliu his integrity as a broker was never ques tioned while he was m Chicago and he maintained his high reputation for honesty after he went to xew york that he hypothecated securities belougiug to judge moore and used them as collateral for loaus is past belief mr mclaughlin would neither deny nor admit that he has heard from mr love since love's losses and his retirement from the stock exchange became public but he left the impression that love had written to him says moore knew of operations the trend of opinion among the brokers on la salle street is that love used the bonds and securities belougiug to judge moore either as his partner or agent and that the new york financier was aware to what uses they were being put that love acted m good faith with moore i have not the slightest doubt said a prominent broker on la salic street who is m a position to know the inside business relations existing between the two love handled securities belonging to moore io uiany of his speculations on the stock jiarket and iv the wheat pit but moore uiicw all about it and approved of his course if love had won n barrel of money through bis bearish attitude m the wlieat market the judge would have prof ited accordingly lt was a gamble as all speculation is and he lost not only that but i believe that love acted upon the advice of judge moore who thought that fatten could not hold his corner on the wheat market love speculated heavily lv stocks and was on the wrong side of the market euough of thc time to lose every cent he had about 750,000 moore lost_s*j,2jo,ooo perhaps but that represented only a part of his for tune believes moore directed deals what could be more natural thau that judge moore should give his protege love his own tip on the market and that love should act upon his advice it is hardly conceivable that a man of moore's known shrewdness would intrust 2,2504)00 worth of bonds to a broker and not have some knowledge of what he was doing with these securities he knew that love's own fortune wus less than 1,000 000 he must have heard something of his big deals and his subsequent losses love plunged too heavily to keep his operations a secret and the extent of his deals re quired same one else's mouey besides his own if moore was not a silent member of the firm of sidney c love & co he was at least interested m it he is therefore bound to accept the firm's losses without a word he took a gambler's chance with love and they both lost lcve is nots com plaining und moore has no more reason for making a noise about it than his agent or partner he has allowed thc impression to get out however that love used bonds that he did not own it is altogether unlikely that he would take a loss of more than 2,000,(kx without some steps looking to ward recovery or retribution unless love is guiltless of wrongdoing love agent for capitalists mr love is believed to have been the agent for handling the deals of a coterie of capitalists interested m the same stocks for some reason the capitalists who have been the power behind the throne m the love comptiny decided to get out accord ing to another broker in doing so they left the company with little business and forced love to close out his deals love is reported to have been m Chicago the latter part of last week this is de nied however by his most intimate friends at the home of his mother mrs mary love it was stated that mr love was not m the eity\and that he had not beeu here recently he has made no at tempt to secure funds m Chicago as far as could be learned it was reported yesterday from new york that the sudden ndlng of love's career as a broker has threatened to disrupt the friendly relations between the moores and the vanderbilts it was intimated that the vanderbilts lost heavily through love's company and that they asked moore to repay them mr moore it is reported has paid all of the love concern's debts to customers with the exception of reginald vabder bilt this fact iif connection with the other revelations of the day would go far to confirm the report that moore was really the head of the love concern and that sidney c love was only a figure head moore is alleged to have said that the vanderbllts were as well able to stand their losses as he was lt is hinted that hegiiiald vanderbllt was interested with judge moore iv the love company e h eversz and wife separate mysteriously
